Be My Baby❤

2.....

Aminata's POV
I woke up feeling tired this morning and I got to school late as I overslept thanks to Mr Smith. That girlfriend of his really got me thinking about our relationship, we need to reevaluate what's going on between us cause I feel like he's leading me on more than he means to.

Or maybe I'm just not used to guys being as friendly and close to me as he has gotten. I swear some of it was flirting. And he's just too damn good looking for his own good. And his looks make him full of himself! So I don't know why I've become so attached to him.

Rohan's POV
I got to my office extra early this morning, despite the small amount of sleep I'd had last night, and I sat near my desk to think for a while. What happened with Aminata and Terra last night was a misunderstanding. I mean sure I like the girl, but I can't do much about it. I'm committed to Terra and I'm a very loyal person.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. I stood up to answer the door and who do I see? Aminata Anderson. "Aminata, don't you have my spare key?" I ask her looking puzzled. She looks down then back up at me. "I just need to get my file, and you can have your key back." She said looking all depressed.

"About last night, my girlfriend was overreacting and I'm really sorry about that." I say putting my hand on her shoulder. "Yeah, I understand." She said. "There's nothing going on between us, right?" I ask her. "Of course not!" She says looking a bit irritated.
"We're good friends. That's all."

"Okay, Mr Smith. I need to get my file and be on my way out of here." She said seeming even more irritated. "You can call me Rohan by the way." I told her. That kinda snuck a smile onto her face, then the sad face was back again. "How's Thomas?" I said trying to lighten up the mood. "Listen sir-Rohan, I have to get to class now." She said grabbing her file on the shelf behind me and walking out. Whoa, this is almost like having a second girlfriend. Why are they both mad at me now?

Aminata's POV
I spent the whole day thinking about Rohan, and how messed up the whole situation with the girlfriend is. I felt so bad for taking even the littlest bit of his attention from her.
I got up to my usual madness and did some "research" on the two of them. It's crazy isn't it, they've been together for 7-8 years now. And they're only 21(her)and 22(him) years old. And they went to Middleton High and went to the annual grade 10 ball together, as well as the farewell senior dance (otherwise known as the matric dance).

This made me realise that I should move on, and that my feelings for Rohan are insignificant. And maybe I'll find myself a Rohan and be someone's Terra. The boys in my grade aren't too shabby.I know that Noah definitely has the potential to be my Rohan. They even look similar now that I think of it.

Next day....
It was a Thursday morning and I was having a debate with my friend Melissa, yes I have friends now, and Noah kept taking my side. Melissa felt betrayed cause Noah has been her friend since grade 2 and he's only known me for 4 months and he took my side in every argument we had. I thought that was really sweet.

After that, Noah and I ended up spending more time together. Who knew he could be so sweet and funny and caring and loving and such a good friend. Sorry there was so many "ands" in that last sentence. I've also noticed how much happier I seem to be these days. Since I realised that being sad for someone who doesn't even think about you isn't worth it.

I laugh more, I smile more and I even have more friends now. I guess I'm friendlier now that I know what a special friendship with a guy like Noah feels like. I want it to be so much more than a friendship though, but I'm not sure if he wants the same thing. My friend Chezné says I should probably just tell him how I feel and hope for the best. But I feel like there's more to him than what's on the outside.

Maybe I should let him make the first move. Of course being me, I had to do some extra research on him and find out his star sign and their traits, and what they like in a woman.

Rohan's POV
I haven't been seeing Aminata a lot lately, and I have to admit I've been missing seeing her sassy face and her deep brown eyes wondering around my office. I miss those awkward conversations we'd have, and bumping into her in random places. I can't help but feel like she may be avoiding me. She doesn't even come to my office to leave her stuff here.

Aminata's POV
I can't lie, I still think of Rohan quit a lot but I'm trying not to. I've even tried to stay away from the places where I'd usually see him but it doesn't help. I even transfered out of his drama and dance classes to avoid seeing his face. It's been weeks of avoiding him and even hating seeing him from a distance, all to try and get over him. If Noah's anything like him, then Noah is more compatible with me while still having a bit of the magic that Rohan has.

I asked some of my friends and they told me that he doesn't even teach our class drama or dance anymore. I guess he got another teacher to replace him since he saw that I wasn't in those classes anymore.

Rohan's POV
I was busy in the tech room one afternoon, preparing the music for a drama event when Aminata walked in. "Hi sir, why haven't you been teaching my class danve or drama lately?" She asked. I moved closer to her. "Why are you asking me now?" I asked trying to look as serious as possible while still being happy that she was finally talking to me again. "Oh, my class just wanted to know." She said seeing through my straight face and not letting it phase her. "I dont have your class anymore." I told her honestly.

Aminata's POV
He doesn't have our class anymore? This really made me think, was it because of me? Did they see us together and think it was inappropriate for a teacher and student to be so close? Or did he just get a promotion to a higher position? I doubt it, I think he might've been trying to avoid me as well, maybe he needs to get over me himself.

A few days later...
Noah and I are only getting closer now, and I've had Noah on my mind more than any body else. He's just so...sweet and thoughtful, and atleast he's single.

We have a drama event tonight, and Noah is performing twice. I can't wait to see him on that stage. Were sitting in the theory room and Mr Smith walks in with his girlfriend. I have to admit she is quite the stunner. She walks in wearing chill at home clothes and no makeup but still looks so much better than me in my skinny jeans and tight black corset like top.

Noah tries to talk to me and I'm so distracted thinking about Rohan and looking at him and his girlfriend while they sit across the room and make eye contact with each other, that I ignore what Noah says and focus all my attention on the couple. "Oh, I'm sorry Noah. What did you say?" I asked him. He just looked down sadly and walked away.

I felt so bad after that, but I was still thinking of Rohan. "Rejection." Rohan said looking at Noah. He didn't say it that loudly but I could hear him. The girlfriend just looked neutral as if she was used to his "child at heart" behaviour.

The following week...
It's a Friday afternoon and my parents are out of the country and my transport driver left me, so I'm pretty much stuck here at school until further notice. I take a walk to the school gym+ aquatic centre with my friend Rhea where we see Rohan walking around, probably training swimmers. I honestly felt like making a U-turn so I don't have to walk past him, but of course Rhea being Rhea, she forces me to carry on walking and pretend I'm buying something from the little tuck shop there.

"Why don't you ask him to give you a lift home?" Asks Rhea nudging me as we walk past him. "Uhm, why can you take me home?" I ask her. "You know we live too far to each other's houses, and my dad just isn't that kind." She says. Then I realise that I have no choice but to ask him for a ride home. "Hi sir, may you please give me a lift home?" I ask him hesitantly. "Sure." He says looking at Rhea and I. He didn't even ask where I live, maybe the teachers already have our addresses.

"Do you also need a ride home?" He asks Rhea. "No sir, I was just holding her hand through this." Says Rhea trying to be funny. Sir just smiled and nodded.
"Oh, I have to go now!" Said Rhea looking at her phone. "Bye Ami!" She said hugging me. "Bye." I say sad that she's leaving me. Rohan just stands there looking at us. "I'm about to finish here, I have musical theatre rehearsal with the grade 9's next. So you can watch that and we'll go home afterwards." Said Rohan. "Ok." I said looking at him and hesitantly.
